Supporting early-stage MedTech companies with high potential.

BioAccel Holdings

Why was it created?

For entrepreneurs, especially those in Arizona, access to capital is usually a very painful and lengthy process. BioAccel, was specifically designed to provide funding to support proof of concept, and pre-seed funding in the biomedical area. However, it was evident that additional funding is necessary for the successful enterprises to grow.

We realized that we require a focused fund to bridge to Angel investments and/or to lead angel rounds.

We knew that access to early stage investment is very difficult to obtain due to the inherent high risk in such investments as well as a lack of subject matter expertise. So we went ahead and created a new kind of fund called the Bio Accelerator Fund.

The following are key highlights of the fund.

The fund is a wholly owned subsidiary of BioAccel. BioAccel benefits through a management fee and percent of the carry, as with a traditional fund.

The Fund will support only companies that are part of BioAccel portfolio of companies vetted through our diligence process and Advisory Council. Additionally an Investment Committee, made up of a subset of our Advisory Council will select investments. We believe this reduces the investment risk because of the deeper level of knowledge possessed by the investment committee.
